Heidi’s Village unites the animal welfare community and inspires the innovation, advocacy, and change necessary to find a home for every pet.

Heidi’s Village sets the standard in animal welfare by:

• Providing a holistic, affordable way to house, heal, and promote the adoption of our community’s most vulnerable animals
• Cultivating leaders and sharing our knowledge to establish ourselves as a trusted resource, partner, and advocate
• Collaborating with our community to produce innovative ideas to increase shelter prevention and transform rescued animals into future family members.

• Each entry is a $5 fee.
• Limit of ONE PET PER PHOTO entry. People are not allowed in photos, only your pet. We ask that no human faces be in the photo, if there is a human in the photo make sure that their face is out of the photo. Photos that do not follow these rules will be removed and will not be eligible to win with no opportunity for a refund.
• All breeds are welcome to enter.
• All photos must be uploaded; we cannot accept printed photos. We cannot accept any copyrighted or professional photos.
• Photos taken by Monica Adalsteinsson of Pup + Me Photo are allowed.

• Any photograph that includes content that is deemed inappropriate, indecent, or obscene, as determined by Pup + Me Photo in its sole discretion, will be removed from the contest with no opportunity for a refund.

Posting more than one photo of your pet does not increase the chances of winning. The winners of the photo contest will be determined by the top 13 entries that receive the most votes. The same pet can only win once. Attempts to win two spots in the art gallery by the same pet will not be permitted.

• Votes are $1 each with a five-vote minimum.
• Each $1 counts as one (1) vote.
• All donations from voting are non-refundable. Entries and donations must be made via the online contest page. Contest payments online are through a secure site.

• All winners will be determined by electronic vote tabulations under the supervision of GoGo Photo Contest, whose decisions are final and binding.

The Voting Period starts at 8:00 AM (US Mountain Time) on Saturday, November 30, 2024 and ends at 9:00 PM (US Mountain Time) on Sunday, January 5, 2025.

•  The top 10 vote getters will win a professional on-location photo session by Pup + Me Photo at a pre-selected location in the Phoenix area during January-March 2025 for a professional on location photo session. If you are unable to commit to a photo session during those times or find yourself unable to travel to these pre-selected locations, you forfeit your winning and the next top vote getter will take your pet's spot in the art gallery, no exceptions.

The photographer, Pup + Me Photo, will choose the best image of the pets to be used in the art gallery as well. This art gallery will focus on the relationship between the guardians and their pets, you will be expected to be in the photo with your pet.

• The pet receiving the highest number of new votes each week over the course of the 5-week contest will win a mini-contest prize from one of the participating businesses.
• Each pet may only win a weekly mini-contest once.
• In the event of a tie, a random computerized draw will be held between the highest vote getters of the week to determine that week's winner.
• In the event that there are no new votes for that week, a random computerized draw will be held for all eligible pets.
